As an American motivational coach says: “Motion creates emotion.” There is a lot of truth and depth to this quote. Are the benefits of fitness a secret? Absolutely not. But here in Washington, fitness is a top daily priority for residents. In fact, the state is consistently ranked among the most physically active in the nation. When you travel to explore fitness and wellness, you get to dive deeper into the holistic fitness realm. You get to enjoy intense running sessions, mindful and challenging yoga styles, and customized workout sessions on a retreat.
Forest medicine
Have you ever wondered why you feel so calm when you walk in nature, especially in the forest? Are you familiar with the hiking alternative shinrin yoku (the Japanese term which loosely translates to forest bathing)? Washington State offers plenty of opportunities to take in nature through all of your senses. This Japanese scientific approach to health decreases anxiety, improves the immune system, helps you sleep better and makes you more creative. Forest trees release essential oils called phytoncides which have healthy and healing benefits. And because there is an incredible abundance of national parks and forests in the state, you will have a front seat. Forest bathing is a must on a wellness vacation here.
